Answer:

Thickness of rectangle prism is 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Surface area of rectangular prism, A = 992 sq inches.

Height, h = 12 inches

Width, w = 8 inches

To find:

Thickness / length of prism, $l$ = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us learn the formula for surface area of a rectangular prism.

Formula for surface area of a prism is given as:

$A=2(wl+hl+hw)$

As there are 6 faces, each face is a rectangle and area of all the faces is considered in the formula. It is just like a cuboid like structure.

Putting all the given values in the formula to find the value of $l$ :

$992=2(8l+12l+8 \times 12)\\\Rightarrow 496 = 20l + 96\\\Rightarrow 20 l =496-96\\\Rightarrow 20 l =400\\\Rightarrow l = \dfrac{400}{20}\\\Rightarrow l = 20\ inches$

So, the answer is Thickness of rectangle prism is 20 inches.

What does |x| mean? like what do the | | 'bars' symbolize or represent?

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: Absolute Value

Step-by-step explanation:

The | | is a symbol for absolute value. This signifies that the number inside would be positive. Now, this doesn't mean it will always be a number inside absolute value bars. It can also be expressions.

Examples:

|1|: Even though the number inside is a positive 1, we know that it cannot be negative under any circumstances. The only exception would be if there was a negative sign on the outside of the absolute value.

|-1|: We see that there is a -1 in the absolute value. This means that it is actually a 1, not -1. The absolute value is what makes everything inside positive.

|1-5|: To solve this, we know that 1-5=-4. Without the absolute value, the answer -4 would be correct. In this case, we have absolute value, so the answer is actually 4.

|x+2|: x+2 can easily be negative. This would happen is x was a negative number that is smaller than -2. x+2 can also be positive, but the absolute value guarantees that the ending result must be positive.

The owner of a local golf course wants to estimate the difference between the scores of golfers on his golf course and the score

Olenka [21]

Answer:

(8) The correct option is (3).

(2) The correct option is (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

(8)

The hypothesis can be defined as:

H₀: There is no difference between the two population means, i.e. μ₁ = μ₂.

Hₐ: There is a difference between the two population means, i.e. μ₁ ≠ μ₂.

The decision rule of the test based on confidence interval is:

If the (1 - α) % confidence interval consists the null hypothesis value then the null hypothesis is not rejected. and vice-versa.

The 90% confidence interval for the paired difference between means is, (-3.31, 14.74).

The interval consists the null value, 0.

Thus, the null hypothesis was failed to be rejected.

Conclusion:

No significant difference exists between the average difference in scores and the differences were calculated as 0.

Thus, the correct option is (3).

(2)

A (1 - α) % confidence interval implies that there is (1 - α) % chance of the population parameter to be contained in this interval.

Or if 100 such intervals are constructed then (1 - α) of these intervals will consist the true parameter value.

The 99% confidence interval for the difference between means is, (-0.124, 13.85).

This interval implies that the true mean difference between the two populations lies in this interval with probability 0.99.

Conclusion:

We are 99% confident that the difference between the average age of all men and all women who play golf at the course is between -0.124 and 13.85.

Thus, the correct option is (1).
